awaken his household and his wife would
take the hapless innocent in charge at

the citizen would turn over in his mind
every chance that there was some reason why
his particular stoopshould have been selected

of conjecture, would softly proceed down the

Resolutions Presented.

At a meeting of Lee Camp last nigh
the retiring commander, John Murphy
was presented a set of handsomely en-
crossed resolutions expressive of th'
Camps appreciation of his administra
tion. They were presented by Major 7
A. Brander in neat speech. Colone
Murphy returned thanks for the mark o
esteem, and requested Major Norman V
Randolph to accept the gift for him.
In receiving the resolutions Major
Randolph made appropriate remarks
which were thoroughly enjoyed by al
present.
Colonel Murphy then invited the Camp

which had been prepared for them. The
invitation was accepted, the Camp re
pairing thither in body. Everything
good in the way Of eatables had been
procured for the refreshment Of the
guests, and to say that they were heartily
enjoyed would be but to express il
mildly.
Several hours were spent over the
banquet. Old stories mot chestnuts)
were brought forth, frightened up and
retold; personal "reminiscences were
again related and some few short speeches
made.
1t was past midnight when the assem-
blage dispersed, expressing hopes that
they might be often treated in like
manner.

The ACTRESS AT HOME.


Yesterday a TIMES reporter called on
Miss Pomeroy at Ford's Hotel and had
pleasant interview Of some half hour.
Miss Pomeroy received the visitor with
the greatest cordiality, and the visit was
entirely devoid OF ceremony. In response
TO queries she told him OF her visit 10 and
her triumphs in India and Australia. In
both of these far-Of countries she was
both a great social and professional iayo-
rite. Had she SO desired she could have
remained In the Orient all Of her days ;
but her wanderngs In many lands
have not made her one bit the less an
American.
Since September last she has made q
tour of the Northern and Western States,
and has everywhere played to large and
enthusiastic audiences She is accom-
panied by her husband, Mr.. Arthur Elliot,
as leading actor, ard her own company.
| In her present tour she has enacted the
characters of Juliet, Hdmlet, Lazy 1eazse,
Rosalirad, Lady Audley, in her own adap-
tation and play, Mercy herrtck, Gdlafed'
Hester Grdzebr00k, Kathleen HdD0urneeh,
Camille, Lazy Isabel, and Madame tme
in "Ea5t Lynne" and PioLa in Twelfth
Night"
In answer to the question, what are
your favorite parts?" she answered
"WeD, like them all, but Shakespeare S
herones delight me, perhaps more than
others. | have played them nearly all
including Viola, Beatrice, POrtia, RosdItnd,
Hermione, Lady Macbeth, Lady Anne,
katherine, Cleopatra, Im'Qgen. Juliet,
Ophelta, DesdemOta, and even the mascu-
line parts of Hamlet and Romeo. | am
not 'mannish' in my tastes, and these
parts were taken for a purpose. Inc
first was an experiment, and the public
has since demanded it, and | am COM
PEELED to keep it in my repertoire. Rome0
played to accommodate a sweet little girl
in Auckland, New Zealand, who wished
TO play Jultet, and who made an immense
success"
During this week she has played in
Lady Audley's Secret, Pygmallon ana
Galatea, Romeo and Juliet" AN In
equal Match" and Hamlet plays
widely diverse-and in each she has
scored a success. Her engagement may
well be pronounced the most pleasant OF
the season. Her audiences have been
large and representative ones and her
press notices favorable without excep-
ton. Mr. Elliott, the leading man, is
an Englishman of birth and education,
and a capital actor. Messrs. Palmoni,
Farnum, Fuld, Brodock, Misses Jackson,
Hardy, and Mulock, and others Of the
company have rendered very efficient
support. Certain 1t is that during the
present week Miss Pomeroy has strength
ened her hold upon the good will of the
people of Richmond, and come when she
will she will be warmly welcomed.
From Richmond the company goes to
Hagerstown, Md, and from thence to
Cumberland. The people of My Mary
land will no doubt receive her in the
same happy manner in which she has
been received all through her present
successful tour.

Gan Unequal Match" and Hamlet"
Pomeroy's Farewell.
Yesterday Miss Louise Pomeroy con
tinued her triumphs. Her rendition Of
the character of Hester Grdzebr00b in the
Unequal Match" was one of the finest
pieces of emotional acting witnessed in
Richmond for long time. She won the
hearts of all the audience, and the per
Torrance was one of the best of the
season. Last night one of the largest and
most beautiful audiences ever gathered
in the Academy witnessed her rendition
of Hdmld.
In this, the most difficult character she
essays, Miss POmeroy was very success
full. Her reading of the lover is very
correct, and she suits the action to the
word Her gestures and stage move
ments are graceful, and in the lofty scenes
she was very nearly equal TO every Occa-
sion. Her voice was at times a little
weak, but on the whole the performance
was an excellent one. Certain it is that
the audience was pleased with it, as she
was loudly applauded and the curtain was
raised at the end of each act. Without
going into detail, the support was very
efficient, Messrs. Elliott, Palmoni. and
Misses Jackson, Hardy, and others shar-
ing in the honors of the evening.
For the farewell matinee to-day "Ro-
meo and Juliet" tonight, Lady Audley's
Secret" Let the house be crowded, and
let the goodbye and an reo0ir be hearty
and spontaneous one.

The Opening of the New Gracs-Street
Church Organ,

Grace-street Baptist church was crowded
last night with beautiful audience. The
new organ built by Hook & Hastings, 81
Boston, was tested for the first time. The
exercises opened with an organ inyOca-
ton by Mr.. n. Bowditch Clapp, followed
by "Gloria in Excelsis," Mr.. Kirk
Matthews at the organ, and sung
by the First Baptist Church choir
then trio by Mrs. W. J. Stephens,
Miss Julia NJ. Kelley and Miss Carrie
Staude After this lengthy and well.
selected programme was rendered. Num-
bers were taken by Mrs. Stephens, Misses
Kelley, Staude, Annie Louise Griswold,
Robina Shanks, and Messrs. f. w. Cum
ningham, II S. Watkins, d. L. Leftwich,
and c. b. Tippett There was also in
strumental music by Messrs. Luther II.
jenkins, Kirk Mathews, and NJ b.
Ramos, and the great power and tone OF
the grand organ was fully tested by Mr..
n. Bowdtch Clapp.
The entire programme was well rem
dered. The finished touch and skill of
Mr.. Clapp as an organist are too well
known and too highly appreciated to be
theme for criticism here. Every one
acquitted themselves handsomely and the
general verdict was that it was an even
ing of the most choice music. Mr. Clapp
as director and under whose auspices the
concert took place deserves great credit
and much honor is due all who partici-
pated

The Sale of the h 4 o.

CHICAGO, March 1O.-The gentleman who
claimed to have seen the original contract
for the sale of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road is authority for the following state
ment The plan for the consolidation of
the various railroad interests grew out of
the efforts OF Jay Gould to induce Robert
Garrett to pool the business of the Balti-
more & Ohio Telegraph Company with
that of the Western Union. Garrett
absolutely refused to become a party to
such an arrangement and declared he
would always keep his business under his
own control; that the telegraph and rail-
road interests were identical and they
should continue so as long as he controlled
them, but at the same time he intimated
that he was inclined to free himself OF his
business cares by the absolute sale of the
controlling interest in the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad which would carry with it
the control OF the telegraph and express
companies. With this hint as the basis
of negotiation he returned to New York
and formed syndicate composed as fol-
lows: Calvin c. Brice, Alfred Sully. Austin
Corbin, John G. Moore, Gen. Samuel
Thomas, H. C. Fraenshook, Winslow Lam
ter & Co. and j. P. Pace. A contract was
then framed in which Garrett agreed to
transfer to the syndicate the controlling
interest in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
within thirty days for SIG. 900, 900, for
feiture being deposited by Garrett. The
contract was shown to Gould Saturday.
1t is understood that the telegraph busi-
ness is to go to the Western Union Com
pany and the express business to Adams
Express Company.

Joined the American Colony.

Boston, March 9.-Wm. G. Hickman, origi-
pally OF Philadelphia but lately of Boston,
has joined the American colony in Canada
after having, it is alleged, swindied a
number of Boston capitalists out OF be-
tween $50, 900 and $40 900. Hickman
claimed to have formula for manufae-
turing an article he called sugarine out OF
common starch. Sugarine was to take the
place of ordinary sugar to which it was
equal in all respects. According to Hick-
mans story. sugarine could be made for
X cents per pound and sold readily for
81 cents. Several capitalists became inter-
ested and furnished considerable sums OF
money, while, it is said, Hickman perver-
ted it to his own use. When his fraud
was discovered and he could no longer
blindfold his dupes he left the city for
Montreal where he now is. Hickman is
said to be very we'll connected in
Philadelphia.
